d'Uccle Cult

The two little ones (girls??) last night They are lonely now because their Polish hatch mates are now outside with the broody momma silkies. I’m hoping they don’t mind being all by themselves till after Easter. I think they’d make good role models for the new eggs due to hatch for the EHAL. If I’m lucky, at least 2 self blue d’Anver chicks will hatch and they can have some sort of similar friends! I also need to name them…I’m terrible at naming chickens! I agonize over it and they go unnamed for far too long

The porcelain seem harder to sex. Mine has me second guessing myself.

How old are they again? The comb seems so pale! They really are tough! My guess is yours are pullets! I’m guessing I will come back from our overnight trip to a bright red comb

6 weeks old. It just would be very lucky. I believe my SR mottled cochin is a pullet also.

Yeah, and we know that luck isn’t often found in chick genders I got to gorgeous lavender Ameraucana chicks last year and they matured realllllly slowly and I thought I’d gotten lucky. Nope, 2 very much cockerels… but they are my best boys so I had to keep them

I guess time will tell. I'm also picking up 2 cream legbars later today. So excited for blue eggs.

The Mille Fleur went to the secondary pen, but Thumbelina is way too weeny and staying with us in the kitchen She'll hopefully be too small to squish the babies (polish and silkies). They’re the same size lol

I’m starting to wonder if mine will ever get much bigger haha. They’re just so little! I love the name Thumbelina it’s perfect!

Mine still have no names…I want good ones that suit them and I just haven’t gotten there yet! They’re so cute though
